PErRRsBrRG, February 9, 1887,
The "Old Grays'" Association Will
celebrate the fifty-ninth anniversary Of
their organization on the Odd of Feb
ruary with banquet For years ante
nor to the war the Grays was one of
the finest military companies in Nir-
ginia. They were among the first to
enter the late war, and throughout that
dreadful struggle to the close at Apo
mattox did honor to themselves and
their mother State on many hard-fought
battlefields. There are but few sur

about twelve miles from town, was
stolen night before last, brought TO this
city, and sold This morning the ami
NAL was identified and recovered by the
owner, bnt the thief-a negro whose
name is unknown-has not been found.
Master Robert Aldridge, the youth who
was so severely injured several days ago
by fall, is said to be in critical con-
dition to-day, and fatal result is fear
ed. II is said that the boys skull is
fractured in one or more places
Peanuts have been coming into mar
ket in large quantities during the past

With q broader business policy than has
characterized any other Southern corpora
ton, we have steadily appreciated the rela-
tive value of land and people. We are hold
ing for our own profit certain lands to be sold
in the future; the balance is offered FREE
AS AIR to all who apply Ia time.
A little more than one year ago the st, An
drew's Bay II. K. and Land Co. acquired con-
troll OF upward of 800 900 acres of the most de-
sirable lands IN the state of Florida, situated
around about the beautiful Bay of ST. An
drew's. on the southwest Gulf coast. Before
the war the town known as st. Andrews Bay
was the home Of many wealthy peoples who
had sought the shores OF the beautiful bay as
a location where could he found In their high
est perfection the peculiar delights of a
Florida home. During the war the town was
bornbarded by Federal fleet and nearly
swept out of existence. The lDhabitante fied.
abandoning their shattered homes to the
torch and pillage of the enemy, and not until
about ten years ago was there any attempt
made to reoccupy the town. This company
began active operations a little more than a
year ago. Since that time there has been the
most remarkable "boom" created for st. An
urew's Bay that has ever been known in the
Flower state. Last winter more than 5000
visitors from all parCs of the country reached
that point in quest of Florida homes. Bust
ness and dwelling houses have been erected
by the hundred. Property secured at the be-
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1887-02-12

ginning of the "boom" has been sold from $25
10 $500 for ordinary Building Lots. Every
'old settler has realized a handsome COM
potency in disposing OF portion of his land
at fancy prices. DOCKS have been erected:
hotels built and added from time to time: a
line OF seven boats ply regularly between ST.
Andrews Bay and other ports; and alto
geLher, the outlook promises that st. An
drew's Bay VIII in few years become the
most important city of the Gulf coast 1t
possesses every natural advantage: A deep
bay-more than sixty five miles long with It's
various branches-with deep channels to the
outer gulf, at once the most charming and
most useful body % water on the coast; n
safe harbor for the fleets OF world. Byery
species OF vegetable, fruit and serial wifi
grow 10 perfection In its soft Italian climate:
oysters in countless milions-the best in the
world-rest IN thousands of exhaustless oyster
beds; timber easily accessible and sufficient
IN quantity TO furnish cargoes for years to the
entire carrying capacity of a nations feet:
climate that, both winter and summer. is the
absolute perfection of earthly delight; free
from malaria, high. dry land and beautifully
located. These are among other good reasons
why st. Andrews Bay is the most desirable
location for Florida home that the STATE can
offer, and why this company has confidence
IN the wisdom of its present business policy
Within two years st Andrews will be the
second largest city in Florida.
